What’s Cookin’? – recipes to get you started

Hummus & Veggie Sticks. Mixed nuts and raisins snack
Serves 4

  • 410g/14oz tin chickpeas (keep juice)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed (or more to taste)
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 rounded dsp light tahini (Tahini is a sesame seed paste packed with calcium, vitamins and protein and available in jars from supermarkets, delis and health food shops – look in the foreign food section).
  • Assorted veggies, chopped lengthways. Good veggies to eat raw include carrots, red or yellow peppers, celery or cucumber - on their own or a selection.
  1. Place all ingredients (not veggies) into a blender or food processor.
  2. Whizz, adding a little bean juice/water to thin down hummus as necessary.
  3. Add salt to taste.
  4. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge - this way it will last a couple of days.
  5. Chopped veggies can be stored in a plastic bag in the fridge & taken out in the morning.

If you want something a little more filling, use the hummus to make sandwiches. Tomato and cucumber go well with it.
